Tendering a player means that if another team was to offer them a deal, the Steelers would have a time period to match the deal, or be compensated with draft picks (depending on the tender level). Example, if another team chooses to offer Colon a better deal, the Steelers have the option to match the offer and retain Colon, or let him go and receive two first round draft picks in compensation. Understood?

Carey Davis was a Exclusive Rights Free Agent (ERFA) they didnt tender him anything. They just gave him a contract he either signs or doesn't play football. He is actually a very good Special Teams, as well as the only FB currently on the roster (McHugh is more of a TE)

I'd have to agree..the guys is average at best. Mchugh could be the answer if they put him exclusively in the FB role..He's huge and could definately open up some holes for FWP and Mendenhall.I think they weren't sure exactly where to put Mchugh early..either TE or FB..but you let him be the premiere FB and i think he'll do fine.Keep Davis for depth and Special teams.

"He's running around there, running his mouth, doing all that, but if you watch him on film and really look, where was Ray Lewis? He was nowhere to be found. I could have tackled the water boy and had as many tackles as him. He didn't do nothing today. He's all mouth. When you talk like that, that's what happens: You get hit in the mouth. He's over there crying now, thinking about what went wrong. You got your *** whipped, that's what." ~ Peazy

McHugh played much better, Davis runs for more negative yards than anything else. This team hasn't had a solid lead blocker for years now, clearly Davis isn't the answer. I would have rather seem him cut then come back, the only good thing is that he is solid on ST.
